AOW / SBS for Home SD

This is a discussion on AOW / SBS for Home SD within the Defensive Rifles & Shotgun Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; Been considering a AOW (Any Other Weapon) SBS (Short Barrel Shotgun).
Not really sure it is worth it. Thoughts?
Any Other Weapon (AOW)...

I've always contemplated a nice shorty shotty. I know the AOW's are a bit cheaper, but I think something with a 14" or 16" barrel would be really nice and balance well even for possible one handed employment with a full stock.
Something like this 15" from Wilson Combat would be right up my alley, but that extra $200 tax stamp seems to negate the need and seriously question the want. I would however be willing to give one out of the two family manufacturing parts I have for the whole deal tax paid!

For home defense I can't think of anything better. Compact and easy to manuever through narrow hallways, yet packs a punch at close range. Since it's a shotgun, there's little danger of over penetration. $5.00 transfer fee is hard to beat.
